Another course, “Representing Science and Technology in thePopular Media” teaches literary and critical analysis through close examination of popularscience texts, particularly science journalism.

As more community colleges offer engineering andengineering technology, they must also look for ways to increase student participation andretention within STEM and STEM-related fields that are feasible given cost and personnellimitations.

As the MOOC phenomenon moves towardsmaturity, the concurrent approach within the Department of Mechanical and ManufacturingEngineering was to assemble learning technologies and techniques that modernize the entireMME curriculum and deploy them in an appealing and contemporary package. The ComEx project is imbedded within the MME curriculum. That is to say, unlike thepreponderance of simulation and/or experiment based online learning modules that have beendeveloped for specific courses5-8, whether they be in chemical, electrical, mechanical ormanufacturing engineering, the ComEx studios focus on a set of thematically linked courses.The students utilize the modules as

In recent discussions of this concern, ithas been identified that “…the issue is not simply a need for more educational innovations. Theissue is a need for more educational innovations that have a significant impact on studentlearning and performance, whether it is through widespread and efficient implementation ofproven practices or scholarly advancements in ideas, methods, or technologies (p. 5).6 ” Effortstowards this end have included the development of frameworks and strategies to make the linkbetween knowledge generated in the learning sciences to the practical delivery of education moreexplicit and implementable5,9,10
